EDIT:  Perhaps a creative race or two?  Not just traditional but including hybrids as well.  I am not suggesting human/whatever crosses but rather Inu/Tengu or Kitsune/Oni.  These might be more interesting as rare options for a character.  Also, there's the possibility of elemental or regional spirits and their descendants.  Mountain god's children, etc.

To be honest, I'd avoid any outright "Okay this is the list of races" and just see what people come up with, then talk about stuff on a case-to-case basis.
